FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I make an appointment?

Please use the booking form here. If you need some advice or want to talk to an artist before making an appointment, get in contact with them directly to organise a free consultation. If you do not have a preferred artist in mind, send us a short email explaining what you need : contact@unikatberlin.com

How much does it cost?

Our minimum price for a tattoo at Unikat is 100€, without exception besides on special events. The actual price will depend on the size, placement, and level of detail of the tattoo as well as if hand poked or machine tattooed.

Your artist will be able to give you a more accurate idea of the price bracket in their answer to your booking request or during your consultation with them. Alternatively, you can also give them a certain budget and have them work within that frame.

Can I pay with the card?

We do not have a card reader at the studio. Depending on the artist, they will take cash/paypal or send you an invoice.

Am I expected to tip?

Prices are all inclusive. If you are especially happy with your tattoo and how you have been taken care of, you can indeed tip in cash.

I've done my research and sent a booking request, what happens next?

Once we have received your request, it is forwarded to your requested artist. If you have chosen no preference, then it will be sent to the most appropriate artist.

They will contact you via email with their answer and a time and date for your appointment, at which point you will need to pay a deposit to get booked in.

Do I have to pay a deposit?

Yes. Deposits secure the appointment with your artist and will be deducted from the final price of your tattoo. Standard deposits are 50EUR, however for all day sessions this could be more.

Deposits are non refundable. If you cannot make it to your appointment, you should let your artist know at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment and we will offer you to reschedule it.

When will I be able to see my design?

Normally artists will present your design to you on the day of being tattooed, where you can make some small adjustments if necessary. However, each artist is different and decides solely upon their process so you may want to ask them directly.

Do you tattoo fingers?

Yes, we do tattoo fingers. However you must be aware that tattoos on the fingers are more likely to fade than on other body parts, and thus would most likely need to be touched up in the future, which isn't included in the initial price.

Can I get a cover up done at Unikat?

Yes, it is possible to get a tattoo covered up at Unikat. Please ask for a consultation.

It is important to understand that in order to cover up a tattoo, the new tattoo will most likely be bigger and darker than the original. One needs to work with what is underneath, so, depending on the original tattoo, the scope of options will be more or less diverse. You also need to wait that the original tattoo is fully healed.

Is it possible to tattoo over scars?

Generally it is possible but the scar has to be a minimum of 2 years old. Please send us an email to organize a consultation appointment.

Can you fix my bad tattoo?

We would have to meet you and check out the tattoo. Please send us an email to organize a consultation appointment. Attach photos of your tattoo with its measurements and also give us an idea of how you would like it to be transformed.

Please note that we can only work on tattoos that are over two months old and fully healed.

Can you do a touch up?

Yes, touching up a tattoo is free once with the artist who has done it.

If you want to touch up a tattoo done by another artist you will be charged the minimum price, at least.

What is the minimum age to get tattooed at Unikat?

The minimum age to get a tattoo at Unikat is 18 years old. However if you are in your eigthteenth year, you can get tattooed with written consent from your parents and a copy of their passport.

In that case, we would not tattoo face, neck, hand or other hard to hide areas..

Do you take walk ins?

At the moment, Unikat is open from Thursday to Saturday, 1 to 7 pm. There might then be the opportunity for you to walk in and get tattooed. However, it is not guaranteed. We also give walk in events, generally on a Saturday.

I saw a tattoo I really like online, could you do the same thing for me?

No, generally each drawing is tattooed only once. However, we could perhaps design a unique version in the same style for you, just ask!

Could I get the same design I saw from another artist/ studio done by you?

No. We do not copy tattoo designs from other artists.

I can't make it to my appointment, can I get my deposit back?

No. Deposits are non refundable. If you get in touch at least 24hrs before your appointment, you will have the opportunity to reschedule. If you simply don't turn up, your deposit will be lost.

Do you do temporary tattoos?

No. All tattoos made at Unikat are permanent.
